How To Overcome The Stress And Depression?

Hi, I m male 24. I feel tired, not sleep tired but fed up tired. I work full time on minimum wage with only two day of a month. I sleep an average 3 hours a nite an drink alot an smoke cannabis. I see hardly any of my family as parents split an both moved away. I was abused as child from age of 9 to 13 by family friend. some times blaming this on y I drink an smoke, to my self that is. I ve never told of my past, but usually think of revenge wen drunk making me feel angry/upset. I don t know if I m depressed or stressed or just need a good rest. I just want away from everything an every 1, not the suicide way altho I ve thought, but just escape from things. Plz reply,
